Over the weekend while on the Australian leg of his Yeezus tour, Kanye West decided he was ready for a new haircut. So the rapper turned to his longtime barber Ibn Jasper for a close fade with six arrow-esque symbols.

Jasper posted a close-up of his work on Instagram with the caption: "New KW x Ibn Jasper Vibez." As you can see, the shapes point towards Kayne's face causing some to suggest the new look is similar to famed anime character Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Seem like a stretch to us.

But since we're speculating, it could be a compass rose, especially since his last name is a cardinal direction. Not to mention his daughter, North West, is another one.

This isn't the first time the 37-year-old has opted for geometric designs in his haircut. Back in 2005, he debuted a shaved-in swirl effect.
